Arthur Lee White born September 1, 1946, in Detroit, Michigan, passed away peacefully at home on December 2, 2021. Janet Dailey White, his wife of 55 years, was by his side.
After graduating from Dupont High School in Belle, West Virginia, Art enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was sent to Malmstrom AFB where he met and married Janet and her very large family. 24 years later and back at Malmstrom, he retired in 1988 as a Master Sergeant. Art was so proud of serving and missed the old-school military. Once retired, he loved to call "work" a four-letter word and began enjoying more time on his motorcycle. Art loved to fix up motorcycles and old cars for himself and others. Constantly tinkering in his well-organized garage, he loved having the oldies playing on the radio. He belonged to a motorcycle club and often participated in fundraiser rallies. He also belonged to local pool and dart leagues. An avid Seahawks fan since their beginning in 1976, Art loved attending games in Seattle with his family on occasion. More recently, he loved going on road trips with the love of his life; feeding the ducks and geese at the river and Gibson Pond; and taking short trips to the coffee stand. Art would talk to anyone around and was a friend to everyone he met. His family and friends knew him to be ornery and he loved to tease and be teased right back. He was so proud of his children and thoroughly enjoyed having his grandkids around.
Art was preceded in death by his parents, Edwin and Gladys White; his in-laws, Charlie and Emma Dailey Snyder and Robert Snyder; three brothers-in-law; two sisters-in-law; and aunts and uncles.
Art is survived by his wife, Janet Dailey White; his five children, Robert (Rachel) White, Richard (Bobbi) White, Vikki Vice, Raymond (Jenny) White, and Ryan White; his eleven grandchildren, Josh Falcon, Bobby White, Randi White, Samantha Piontek, Dustin Vice, Jacob Vice, Matthew Vice, Tyler Vice, Judah White, Emma White, and Levi White; his five great-grandchildren, Preston, Gracie, Caoric, Faelen and Lucy; his siblings, Richard (Nancy) White and Ann (Randy) Laroque; nieces, Tonia (Dana) Jones and Stacy (Jason) Cavender; three sisters-in-law; and extended family.
A memorial service will take place at Hillcrest Lawn Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at 1:00 p.m.
The family asks that any memorial contributions be sent to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church at 409 13th St South, Great Falls, MT, 59405 or the Alzheimer's Association at Alzheimer's.org.
